Developing Virtuosity Method for Teaching Strings

Teachers keep coming back to Lynne Latham's viola books, particularly Developing Virtuosity bk. 3 for Viola and the grade 1.5 starting volumes. The parallel series for violin and cello follow the same pedagogical structure, so students switching instruments or studying multiple strings find consistent methodology across all three books.

Lynne Latham has composed the core method books that form the spine of this collection. Her three-volume series for violin, viola, and cello demonstrates a methodical approach to building technical facility, with each book designed to be completed before moving to the next level.

Gayley Hautzenroeder and Thom Sharp round out the creative team, contributing arrangements and compositions that support the pedagogical goals of the method while keeping students engaged with varied musical material.
